How to deal with depression stages?

[MementoMori777]

I woke up with depression, it happens to me every once in a while and unfortunately I ran into that once in a while I guess.. so how do I get rid of it, besides blowing my own brains out of course lol

Any ideas? I tried alcohol but I ran out so there goes that 😂

[kareenakapur]

im sorry to hear about you struggling with this. Have you tried therapy? People say working out like an hour every day can help. Dont just distract the problems with other things. Find the route of it. If you avoid the problems distract yourself, you might be happy. But then the depression, its going to come back and hit you even harder than when you were already down. Please talk to someone. Find a psychologist that you like. If that doesn't work, meds do help. Please get help. You are an amazing person. Please dont ever do something to yourself. Thats a loss to the whole society.

[MementoMori777]

I don't like psychologists but it's much better Now, I woke up with It, hopefully I don't go to sleep with it and it comes back, you've been ghost for a while, everything alright? 🙂👍

[kareenakapur]

maybe try a psychiatrist. Meds can really help. But yeah see how you feel tomorrow if it goes away <3. Nope my life is a fucking mess as usual

[MementoMori777]

Thanks Kareena and hopefully your mess gets cleaned up 🙂👌

Regular exercise helps allay depression. Getting enough sunlight resets your sleep clock... only about 15 or so minutes per day. Get enough sleep also. 7-8 hours. Take naps if you can't get it all at once.

Alcohol is a central nervous system DEPRESSANT. Avoid it. It doesn't help. And don't joke about suicide. It's not funny. If you have those feelings, make an appointment to talk to a professional. Get recommendations from your GP. And take care of yourself, first and foremost.

At worst, you'll need to see a psychiatrist for some meds to get you through this. But getting to the base of why you're depressed will help solve your depression. Good luck!

[MementoMori777]

I unpurposely think of suicide everyday, I know I'm not gonna do It, but the thoughts are intrusive, I guess dark humor ain't for everyone, thanks for the info tho

[Screenwriter]

The fact that suicide thoughts are cropping up in your head daily doesn't sound healthy, Mori. "Intrusive" means they are out of control. Get a pro to talk to. to find out what you need to do to end this problem. Don't ignore or laugh off such thoughts or any long-term levels of depression.

[MementoMori777]

Humor is what keeps me going, I don't let Satan get the last laugh on me

[Screenwriter]

Humor is healthy, but recurrent thoughts of suicide aren't. Talk to a pro.

[AaronKrieger]

I stopped experiencing it so often once I found a purpose in my life, which for me is my career. I quite literally cannot experience depression right now, since it'd get in the way of the work I HAVE to do every day.

Sure, I get sad or lethargic at times, but it's not like depression. Certain things in your life can become so important to you that mental bullshit doesn't get in the way. So that and good habits makes me not deal with that so heavily anymore

[MementoMori777]

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind

[Meropatrick]

Sorry to hear that :( why not Some mean gagers dont get depression? Why a fun guy like u? Anyway depression always have a cause if not from real events then from brain chemical disturbance. So u either take a med for it. Or deal with whats causing it. From ur post ur life seems tough like losing friends in violent ways which can cause depression to Anyone. Try to get exposed to more positive things in life. Not only bad news or so. Hope all is well😔

[MementoMori777]

I wish good news were common for me bro but thanks I'll try and see what I do 💯💯

[Meropatrick]

I hope life brings u a lot of joy and positivity 🙏if u need to talk i am here to listen. U can also watch a show called impractical jokers its really funny and gets me out of the mood whenever i am sad

[MementoMori777]

I was watching that yesterday, I'll watch it later tonight when I feel worse lol

[Meropatrick]

They r really funny😅i wish English was my first language so I can understand the show more with the puns and so forth. Hope u dont feel worse but watch it its freaking funny

[MementoMori777]

Yea ima watch it, even tho I think I watched most of their good stuff ha

[Meropatrick]

Even the new episodes without joe? There is This one episode with Murr giving a speech and changes his voice very funny

[MementoMori777]

I don't know maybe I haven't lol

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Kinda dark here but most times I just hide in my room but when it gets really bad I have been known to cut. I dont recommend it though. Some healthier solutions are to do something creative even if it isn't good but doing things like writing, drawing, even building with Lego are positive outlets that can force your mind to focus on something else.

[MementoMori777]

Maybe playing a war game will help me, I'm doing that now, thanks for the help Bri, I hope you manage to fight off yours as well 🙂💯

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Good luck and thank you.

[MementoMori777]

First, start therapy.

If the goal is to deal with instantaneous issues there are a lot of emotional regulation techniques out there and little things you can do in your life to minimize this happening to begin with.

Healing depression is more about dealing with the long-term than the short term if that makes sense.

[MementoMori777]

It does make sense but I don't necessarily wanna pay anyone to listen to my bullshit if ima be foreal, it's not my cup of tea

[Alli39]

I've been there in terms fo mentality, but it helps more than you might expect.

Realistically, it's hard to get good advice from the people in our lives because they'll never actually be objective about our situations. It's also good to speak to people who have a good understanding of what is vs isn't a healthy mindset or behavior, and that knowledge is really what you're paying for.

[MementoMori777]

That is some interesting information Alli, you seem like an intelligent person, your brain must be very pink from all the intelligence

[Alli39]

Lol that's really not how brains work but I appreciate the sentiment.

[MementoMori777]

I know I was joking lol

[jennifer_bloom]

I find you can beat depression by being nice to people, like maybe you could donate to a charity or do volunteer work with disabled people for a few hours a week, or volunteer to babysit a niece or nephew a few times a month. Even encouraging others and saying positive affirmations over them can boost your mood. You could also make artistic gift baskets for sick people at your church.

[midnightmoon05]

It’s call male PMS…chocolate? Lol depressed or sad?

[MementoMori777]

Isn't it the same thing? And PMS chocolates sound fancy, what are they? 🤔

[midnightmoon05]

If it works for you silly.
So you are sad a few days a month or are you truly depressed? Like can’t get out of bed for 2 weeks?

[MementoMori777]

No it's just a wave that creeps up on me I guess, randomly

[midnightmoon05]

So it’s pms lol
It will past.
It I get it.. hate that and everything just seem so negative!
Have some chocolate lol or take a cold shower.

[MementoMori777]

Well I'm playing a game with some friends, maybe that will help, cold shower sounds like I can use as plan b if anything, thanks for the help midnight 🙂💯

Pray, walk outside get fresh air, talk to a family member, seek therapy, affirmations (I repeat bible verse 7 times), drink plenty of water, eat a healthy meal, work out, do a relaxing activity, make sure your vitamin levels are on par.

Is there a specific reason why your feeling down? Remember God loves you and if you need to talk I'm always hear to listen. Hope everything gets better for you. ♥️

[MementoMori777]

Sounds very useful and helpful crumble, thank you 🙂💯

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Seriously, Bananas can raise your serotonin levels thus making you feel less depressed, and I'm sure there are other foods or fruits can do the same thing for you.

[MementoMori777]

Bananas be finessing I see lol

[hiyamotherfers]

I understand this, I really do. You just gotta find something to do. Anything really. I could watering plants, but just doing something to distract myself helps me

[MementoMori777]

Thanks 🤗

[Anonymous]

Ask yourself why are you depressed. Is for a reason. Like maybe you aren't financially stable? Maybe you need a wife? Etc. Is it a pure reason or is it happening for no reason?

If you know the reason you can solve it.

[MementoMori777]

It ain't gonna be solved today cause those are two problems I do have and many more but I don't think that's the core of it cause it's random, it comes for 1 day and then the next week I'm good, I don't get it

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah well maybe its the anxiety that kicks in. You seam like a great dude. Despite your past ofcouse. If I were you I'd take a coarse for UX/UI design. My friend did that for like 6 month and is making 5000 USD/month from home. It might not work for everyone but they are needed and anyone can study it. Its a high paying job definatly higher than average. And then I would join a Christian dating site.

But despite that if thats not it, then it could be lack of sleep, lack of nutrution, stress? I mean if something bad happen to your recently or someone close to you that can affect it too.

Dont take offence to my tip please sorry if you didn't wanna hear it..

[MementoMori777]

Don't stress it, your advice is good and sounds helpful, I got a lot of fixing to do in my life and that's a fact, I appreciate the time you took to try helping me out tho 💯🙂🙏

[Opinion Owner]

Ok no worries, goodluck!

[MementoMori777]

Thanks 💯

[exitseven]

Figure out something that sucks about you and work towards fixing it. It could be losing weight or learning a skill. You are trying to get some control back in your life

[MementoMori777]

Interesting advice, I'll see 🤔

[exitseven]

I had a friend that was a wellness coach. She told me that depression can be caused by being out of the loop of control of your life. I was very depressed for a while. I tried to identify what was making me so depressed and I began to engage in activities that would make the situation better. The act of working towards a goal gave me control of my life. It was working pretty good too until Covid came and screwed it all up

[MementoMori777]

Yea it seems like that could be it Maybe, but it comes randomly like once every two weeks type of thing or every month, it's weird the

[MementoMori777]

Tbh*

[skyla_is_learning]

Do the activities you love and travel a lot. That's how i beat it

[MementoMori777]

I'll do the activities I guess, I can't afford traveling nor do I even like to travel but I appreciate the advice tho Skyla 🙂💯

[skyla_is_learning]

I hope you beat :)

[MementoMori777]

Thanks Sky, me too, you have a good soul 💯🙏

[skyla_is_learning]

you too :)

[gorydetails]

Consuming a depressant when you're depressed seems counter intuitive.

[Rangers]

There is no way to deal with it, aside from ending one's life

[Juxtapose]

Smoke some good weed.

[MementoMori777]

I quit weed, I can't go back to it

[Lexina]

Hey, you wanna talk?

[MementoMori777]

We already do vampira 😂
